Do You Know...

Paul Scholes? The guy Hwei mentioned in her blog? Well, he is really bad at tackling even though he can score a lot of goals. The world seems to agree on that too.

One more chance, ref? Please??

Here are some of the articles written by professionals about him.

Taken from Team of the Decade

...One of the best passers in the game, his eye for the crucial ball put him at the centre of United's attacking play and his goalscoring ability (either from one of his trademark volleys, or a well-timed run into the box) made him a legend at Old Trafford. His awareness on the ball, vision and technique make up for a chronic lack of tackling ability.

This taken from Team of the Week

...Using all the 35-years of experience in that flame-red noggin of his, Scholes sidestepped Jody Craddock before firing an unstoppable shot into the bottom corner. His all-round game - apart from his tackling, of course - was exemplary.

And this, from his Profile

...Though he still can't tackle - he never could - he is still a vital cog at United and will be sorely missed when he eventually decides to hang up his boots.

The best part is, they always talk about his achievements and superb skills before mentioning his tackling ability.

Heck, if I can't tackle, I'll punch!
